The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee narrowly approved President Donald Trump's choice for secretary of state, former Exxon Mobil chairman Rex Tillerson, on Monday. The panel voted along party lines, 11-10, to recommend Rex Tillerson's nomination to the full Senate, which is expected to confirm Tillerson as Republicans hold a 52-seat majority. Endorsements from Sen. Bob Corker, the committee's Republican chairman, and Sen. Marco Rubio gave Tillerson an important boost.
